One month later in 2270 the Eagle picked up a distress single from the USS Bismarck. Once the dreadnought was located they found an alien computer had killed its crew. Banner was able to beam over to the ship, destroy the computer and bring it back to a nearby starbase.

The Eagle over Andoria

After the incident Banner took a several week leave of absence from the Eagle, during Banner’s absence the Eagle was assigned to transport clarified cargo from Andoria when she was ambushed by a pirate raider. With the help of the USS Saladin (NCC-500) Commander Michele Tyler was able to fined and retrieve the stolen cargo from the pirates, one of which was a former Starfleet officer by the name of Nick Sather.
